Senior players should prove themselves in domestic cricket, says Mohsin http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Khan-c71319 – Cricket News Update
Chief Selector of Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 Cricket World Cup
2011.
Pakistan’s selection committee decided to inject young players in the national team after the mega event, where the Green Shirts did well to reach the semi-final.
PCB has ignored some of the senior players like http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 earlier this year. The duo was ignored once again when the selection committee announced the
squad for the upcoming tour of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Zimbabwe-c3045.
While replying to the criticism made by Abdul Razzaq, Mohsin said that nobody has the right to interfere in the job of the selectors, who are looking to rebuild the team after the world cup and anyone who is fit enough and performing well
can be a part of the team, irrespective of his age.
In order to strengthen his argument, Mohsin gave the example of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755’s current captain, Misbah ul Haq.
The Chief Selector said, “It’s the job of the selection committee to finalize the team. The selection committee is working on a simple policy that any player who is doing well should get a chance. We just want to give a chance to the youngsters
who are our future. If there was an agenda then we wouldn’t have a 35-year old captain [Misbahul Haq] who is also a very senior player.”
The 31-year-old all-rounder has so far played 262 One Day Internationals, 46 Test matches and 26 T20 Internationals for his country and has been a match-winner for his team over the years; however, the selection committee now wants to move
on to the future by giving more and more chances to the youngsters.
The Chief Selector also praised the past performances of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Abdul-Razzaq-c41623 and urged him to prove his worth in domestic cricket once again.
“I’ve always admired Razzaq’s ability and he’s a match winning all-rounder. The seniors should not be disheartened and should work on winning their place by proving their worth in the domestic tournaments,” http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohsin-c77587 added.
